Notes

This Buffalo Chicken Soup is a perfect blend of creamy, spicy, and hearty. I made this dish for a chilly evening, and it was a hit with everyone. It's a great recipe for meal prep and can be easily customized with your favorite ingredients. The rich, bold flavors of the Buffalo sauce combined with tender chicken make this soup a true comfort food. If you want to make it lighter, consider swapping the heavy cream for half-and-half or coconut milk for a unique twist!
